In this QCA run I explore the factors associated with having
IMF Pressure during the period 1970-1985. THe data come from Ragin 2000.
The fuzzy sets have been simplified to crisp sets using >5 = 1 recodes.
However the analysis done by Ragin has a different OUTCOME:  Anti-IMF 
protest.

  Outcome: C  Cases:    20   40.0%   (0 = 12   1 = 8   - = 0)
In the 20 cases above, the IMF Pressure outcome was contradictory-
some had Positive outcomes and some had Negative.

ECOCRISP libcrisp GOVCRISP
  Outcome: 1  Cases:     5   10.0%   (0 = 0   1 = 5   - = 0)
The above are 5 cases, all having the positive outcome for IMF pressure.

ecocrisp LIBCRISP GOVCRISP
  Outcome: 1  Cases:     1    2.0%   (0 = 0   1 = 1   - = 0)

This is a single case which has a positive outcome for IMF Pressure.

*** CRISP-SET SOLUTION ***

GOVCRISP
The finding is that if the goverment is actively doing public spending,
then that necessarily entails that among these cases it was true that by 
1985
they had had IMF pressure.  GOVTACTV was the only variable that was
'necessarily' -- ie regularly -- associated with IMFPRESS.

You can examine the Fuzzy Set data yourself to see how true this is, and
to see the cases involved.

However it does appear a bit as a case where government spending is 
inherently
part of the syndrome of high inflation and high import-purchasing that led
to so many IMF interventions.
